beyond it, and displayed the reform spirit We wish he had done mora of this, but we had no right to expect it of him. He is 8 Democrat, and as a Democrat he was elected to the high office of President. His party had been kept out of office for twenty-four years. Where new appointments were to be made it was to be expected that, outside of the operations of the civil service law, he would appoint Democrats, other things being equal. He has generally made good selec- tions. The country has learned that it's af- fairs can be safely intrusted to Democrats as we'll as to Republicans. For so much we are thankful The President is ahead of his party we believe that he is ahead of either party as civil service reformer.
 Henry George is rapidly developing. He announces, over his own name, in his Stand- ard: If it were absolutely necessary to make choice between full state socialism and anarchism, I for one would be inclined to choose anarchism, preferring no government at all, bad and inconvenient as that might be, to government which should essay to control and direct everything. And he adds: But in the meantime there is no reason why those who entertain such views as do should not work harmoniously with socialists of the German school as long we go together, or why we should be perpetually accentuating our differences The ultimate aims of social ism are high and noble. They seek to obtain for society that abolition of poverty for which we would strive. Any dispute as to means may we'll be postponed until it is nec- essary to raise it. and my friend both wish to reach the Pacific ocean. I think we shall reach it at San Francisco; he is firmly of the opinion that it will be necessary to keep on until we get to China. So long as we are willing to travel westward in the same car, we can we'll postpone disputes.

RTRD mEssENGERs,

It is noteworthy that in these days of rapid sending of messages by electricity and mes senger boys the use of having pigeons as message carriers should be on the increase
 Such is the fact. Pigeons are used in the military establishments of France and Ger many, and to some extent of Austria, Italy, Spain and Russia. According to Captain
 Allatt, who lately delivered 8 paper before the British Royal United Service Institution on the Military Pigeon system of Europe, :" there are now about $50 private flying clubs in Germany and 800 in France, whose birds are trained for stocking the military lofts. On the eastern frontier of France there are said to be ten stations fully supplied with birds, communicating either directly or by intermediate stations with Paris. Germany, however, stands at the head of European nations in her military pigeon service, which has been very carefully fostered by the War office. In England there are about 2,000 trained birds, of which fully fifty can fly 300 miles and the remainder between 100 and 200.
 It is now proposed by the rulers of the Signal service of this country to have pigeons carry messages between Key West and Mas sau. The New York Times says that it is
 clear that in the West, where dispatches of
 importance have to be sent back to 8 fort by
 an expeditionary party, the pigeon might
 prove to be most useful military messen- ger and remarks: The suggestion has more than once been made by army officers that a military pigeon service would be of special use in the far West in cases of expeditions in regions long distant from either rail or wire and where travel is made enormously difficult from the nature of the ground or the dangers to single carrier or small party in the presence of hostile Indians. The first use of pigeons at the siege of Paris was ob- tained by sending the birds out in balloons, and from that time there ~as winged com munication between the besieged city of Paris and the seat of the French government at Bordeaux. By means of photography and the microscope the birds are able to carry, in small quills securely attached to their feathers, very long messages put on their films. These expedients were increased in ingenuity and value by experiment.
 The matter is an interesting one. It seems probable that the use of the pretty and un- erring birds will continue to grow.

FUN ATA DAKOTA HALL.
A Great Social Event Made to Resem ble MadhouSe.
 lcnta RelI

bIe a Madhouse.
 From the Dakota Rel1.1
 There WAS grand ball given up in Estel- line one night three or four years ago.
 It was the chief social event of the season in which it occurred and elaborate prepara- tions were made. It took place in the largest hall in town, located over the Golden Bowl saloon, which institution had bar in it that would hurt your eyes to look at.
 There was an orchestra brought down at great expense from Q German settlement at the head of Stray Horse Creek. There were four or five in this band, including big fd- die trained to stand up on it's fore legs, which had piece of barbed wire for it's longest town, and scope of country as large as the State of Jersey was ransacked to furnish la dies enough to make it interesting.
 The gentlemen connected with Spaulding's ranch also came. They were fond of society, and it might be said they were in Estelline's social swim There was MT. Bill Hostetter and Big Jack and Long Jack. If we remem- Der rightly MT. Pockmarked Smith and MT. Patsy Dougherty were present We are pos- tive that Snub'em Pete and Mir. Dennis Mo-
  sin Joe, Buck Reno and Jimmy, the road agent.
 The gentlemen were all feeling well when they left the ranch. On arriving in town they rode into the Golden Bowl saloon and up to the bar and sampled the stock of for eign and domestic liquors, after which they punched their horses in the street and came up to the scene of the festivities.
 Promptly at nine o'clock the head musi- clan drew ripsaw across the barbed wire string of the big fiddle, and the floor mana- ger yelled "Form onr'
 Then we all danced, the big fiddle groaned, the little fiddle screeched, and the parlor or gan borrowed from the First Baptist church could occasionally be heard when the others stopped to rest. Each danced as long as he or she could, the floor shook, the lamps swung, the man who called off got his nose up in the air and yelled and the big fiddle roared. Everything went smoothly till the second dance after the supper taken at the Headquarters Hotel.
 At this point the ranch gentlemen came up in body-they had before been dividing their time between the ballroom and the dis pensary below.
 They came in and drifted up to the head of the hall, when suddenly Bill Hostetter jumped up and cracked his heels three times together and yelled:
 sfWour-reckl I'm CT terror! Yar.r-rr The man who was playing the church or gan fell over backward of the platform and started for the door on his hands and knees. Then Buck Reno jumped up and struck his head against the ceiling twice before he came down and whooped:

An Old Horseman.
Horses can get some rest standing,

their rest ~habitually. in "A recumbent

horse that had been accustomed to
select his own bed in the pasture. If
the horse can have the privilege of

To show the vanity of all the spec
ulation as to the successor of the late
Justice Woods, it is only necessary
to mention the fact that as the new
Justice cannot take his seat on the
Bench until he is confirmed by the
United State Senate, so then it is
not at all probable that the appoint
ment will be made before Congress,
meets in December, for as the old
saying goes, the President does not
believe Sin crossing a bridge till he
gets to it."
Under the authority of Congress,
Senator Cockrell is drawing to a close

conducting the business of the vari-
Departments and it is hoped that
ifno other beneficial result is secured,
provision at least will be made for
the settlement Of the accounts of dis
bursting officials before grim death
